I say this every single Sunday, but weekends are just too short. Although we did have a great weekend, so I certainly can’t complain. Let me back up a little-
On Thursday night my mom stayed the night as she was in town seeing a patient. I made us one of the worst dinners ever, it was so horrid that no one touched it, Ajax had mac and cheese, and we all ended up having a snack before bed. Oh well, they can’t all be winning meals recipes :)-
On Friday my mom took Ajax for the day and then out to her house for the night. My mom, dad and nana babysat Ajax and said he did very well. He played well with the dogs and helped throw Frannie hay. He chased his Zu zu all over the place. My dad pulled him around on the sled, but he wasn’t too sure he enjoyed it (Ajax is a pretty cautious kid). My mom did say that he woke up at about 11 pm and was up for about 2 hours. What can I say, he’s still a little nino and he sometimes has bad dreams.
With our time, Dave and I ended up ordering in and watching Deadwood (an HBO series that ended years ago… Dave and I have been into Westerns lately). On Saturday morning we dropped my car off at the shop for new tires and then went to see a movie- yes, you guessed it, another Western – True Grit. Dave and I also swung by the mall as we had a Macy gift card to use and were home just before my dad rolled into town with Ajax.
Ajax was worn out from his adventures in Brooklyn and was in quite the mood. He went to bed early, not really by his choice, but he needed to get to bed early.
Today Dave, Ajax and I headed over to my grandpa Nader’s house as it was his birthday. Ajax was a little crabby, but once he started playing with his cousins he warmed up. On our way home we stopped by Best Buy and Dave bought me a new camera. Mine completely died on me, but I probably took about ten thousand pictures with it (Dave’s estimate).
Tonight Ajax helped me fix the drain in the bathroom as Dave inadvertently broke it this morning. Ajax held the flashlight and screwdriver for me and only once tried to climb into the tub to see better. He was such a help.
Ajax also has a new phrase – “don’t scare me!” I think he picked it up a week or two ago, and loves to throw it out when he and Dave are goofing around. Ajax will shout and laugh and then proclaim – Dad! Don’t scare me! It’s so funny.
